mock-utils

mock-utils solves the 'as' problem in TypeScript tests.

type User = {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  // Imagine oodles of other properties...
};

it("Should return an id", () => {
  // Even though we only care about User.id for
  // this test, we need to pass in the whole User
  // object
  getUserId({
    id: "123",
  } as User);
});

'as' in tests feels bad.

• You're trained not to use it
• You need to manually specify the type you want to assert to
• For testing with incorrect data, you need to 'double-as' (as unknown as User)

mock-utils gives you some first-class primitives for safely providing incomplete data to tests.

import { fromPartial } from "@total-typescript/mock-utils";

it("Should return an id", () => {
  getUserId(
    fromPartial({
      id: "123",
    })
  );
});
